Let’s be real—when someone says Shakespeare, most people think:
"Old dude. Weird words. Confusing stuff."
But guess what? William Shakespeare was actually the original master of drama, sass, romance, and plot twists.
He gave us sword fights, witches, ghosts, fake deaths, real deaths, love triangles, and even dirty jokes (seriously—some of his plays are wild once you understand the language ๐).
๐ฌ Did you know...
He invented over 1,700 words we still use today, like bedroom, lonely, gossip, and swagger. Talk about leaving a legacy.
Some of his most famous plays include:
-
Romeo and Juliet – teenage love + bad decisions = iconic tragedy ๐
-
Hamlet – ghosts, madness, revenge, and that one skull everyone posts memes about ☠️
-
Macbeth – witches, ambition, murder... and a lot of blood ๐ฉธ
-
A Midsummer Night’s Dream – fairies, love potions, and a guy with a donkey head ๐ด✨
You don’t have to “get” everything at once—half the fun is exploring the drama, the themes, and the crazy stuff hiding between the lines.
So next time you hear someone groan about Shakespeare, just remember:
He walked so Netflix could run.
